Click Here to View: John Huston’s World War II documentary Let There Be Light on the National Film Preservation Foundation website.
This film is legendary for its censorship controversy that its sheer power as a film has been easy to miss. Produced by the U.S. Army in 1945, it pioneered unscripted interview techniques to take an unprecedented look into the psychological wounds of war. However, by the time the film was first allowed a public screening—in December 1980—its remarkable innovations in style and subject, which in the 1940s were at least a decade ahead of their time, could be taken as old hat, especially because of the poor quality of then-available prints. This new restoration finally reveals the film’s full force.

Click here to read David Rieff’s review of The Patagonian Hare, “A Vast Choir of Voices: On Claude Lanzmann,” from the July 2-9, 2012 edition of The Nation.
In an earlier post, Arnie Richards and I reviewed Claude Lanzmann’s memoir, this writer who also produced the nine-hour Shoah, a landmark film for the twentieth century. Click here to read said post, “This Justifies a Life: Lanzmann’s Memoir and Yom HaShoah by Nathan Szajnberg.”
David Rieff reviews this book in the Nation. His review reads like the recipe for how one need prepare venison: first you have to eviscerate it, then you can enjoy the steak. He begins by gutting Lanzmann: “Even the most passionate of lifelong romances tend to cool with time. But… Lanzmann’s … self-involvement seems only to have risen with the passing decades.” Rieff identifies a style of French writing (not found among French scientists; moreso amongst essayists and such) as a “confederacy of braggarts.” Not to be found in the gaggle of penman traits such as irony, self-effacement or stoicism. Witness Sartre. Or Beauvoir, his (Sartre’s and Lanzmann’s) lover.
